I know it's an 8 week injury, but I wouldn't be shocked if they IR him. Martin and Brandon Thomas will end up being this year's version of Tank and Dial. Can't wait to see what they can do in 2015._________________

Marcus Martin is still very raw though. He needs as much practice time as he can get. Those extra 10+ weeks of practice could be very important for him. Plus, we never dress more than 7 OL anyway. Keep him on the 53 and bring him back to practice when he is ready._________________And on the eighth day, God created Iowa.

You could be right, if playing against the best of opponents. I tell ya though.. I am breaking down his snaps from the last game... and I am not finding any that make me think he can't start when healthy. He looks like he belongs out there. Kilgore not looking bad either._________________

Fine. Start grooming one of them to play G.

Looney has looked like he belongs too. Also, Brandon Thomas is a great prospect to develop once healthy. Iupati is no doubt gone after the season._________________And on the eighth day, God created Iowa.

I used to think this was pretty likely. But with Boone's holdout we might just decide to move him. Im not talking about who's better. But it's always a jigsaw puzzle trying to figure out how to allocate the cap money. At the G position it might come down to how much it would take to sign one of them._________________

LaMike has been terrible on returns these last two weeks. I find it really hard to justify dressing him on gameday. Give Bruce the job already. Even the other Bruce has been better than James on kick returns._________________

Yeah, it hasn't been pretty. Granted, that first one, he really didn't have much of a choice. That ball was rolling into the end zone, but the Texans would probably have caught up to it before then and downed it at the 1-yard line. The second one was just bad. Fair catch that one. No point in taking a big hit and risking losing the ball.

Third one was pretty good coverage and really bad blocking by our special teams. He had nowhere to go._________________

And both kickoffs he couldn't get back to the 20. I don't remember Ellington being short of the 30. At the end of a game, that's a pretty big difference._________________
